When the specified period of time elapses, the printer does the following:
When Auto Select is specified, the printer checks trays in the order of Paper Tray Priority, Tray 1, Tray 2, Tray 3, and Bypass Tray, for trays with paper loaded. When the printer detects a tray with paper loaded, it begins printing.
